Salmos 7— comparação

1SENHOR, meu Deus, em ti me refugio.

2para que não despedacem a minha alma como um leão,

3SENHOR, meu Deus, se eu fiz isso,

4se paguei com o mal àquele que estava em paz comigo

5que o inimigo persiga a minha alma e a alcance;

6Levanta-te, SENHOR, na tua ira.

7Que a congregação dos povos te rodeie.

8O SENHOR exerce juízo sobre os povos.

9Ah, que a maldade dos ímpios chegue ao fim,

10O meu escudo está com Deus,

11Deus é um juiz justo,

12Se o homem não se arrepender, ele afiará a sua espada;

13Ele também preparou para si os instrumentos de morte.

14Eis que, ele sofre dores de parto com a iniquidade.

15Ele cavou um buraco,

16O mal que ele causa retornará sobre a sua própria cabeça.

17Eu darei graças ao SENHOR segundo a sua justiça,

1Yahweh, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

2lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.

3Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,

4if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (yes, I have plundered him who without cause was my adversary),

5let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. s Selah. s*

6Arise, Yahweh, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.

7Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.

8Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

9Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.

10My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

11God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.

12If a man doesn’t repent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.

13He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.

14Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.

15He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.

16The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.

17I will give thanks to Yahweh according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High.
